Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program

MESSAGE 1'S WILL CONTINUE VALID INTO THE EVENING
-Message 1's will continue valid for the District until 10pm this evening although a lull has developed over much of the District currently. Rain showers and weak thunderstorms continue over Boulder County at this time but rainfall rates are relatively light.
-This lull is allowing for some late daytime heating that will likely generate another round of storms in 2-3hours. Although temperatures have cooled storms that develop will be efficient rain producers and even a moderate storm is still capable of producing rates of up to 0.5"/10mins or more.
-Showers and thunderstorms will continue to be relatively fast moving from SW to NE at around 25mph which will help to reduce point rainfall amounts from a single storm. Training of thunderstorm cells will have the greatest potential to produce extended periods of heavy rainfall. After 9 or 10pm the threat for thunderstorms will diminish with additional rain showers possible overnight.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers and weak to moderate thunderstorms will produce 0.1-0.5" in 10-30 minutes. Strong thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.5-1.5" in 10-30 minutes. Supplemental QPF is available at https://qpf.udfcd.org

WORST CASE SCENARIO: Training of thunderstorm cells or a very large slower moving thunderstorm may produce up to 2.5" of rain in 45-60 minutes.
